Measures to combat cybercrime: analysis of international and Ukrainian experience

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of the measures used to combat cybercrime in different countries. It is observed that the world's leading countries are actively expanding and creating units in the armed forces and intelligence services that should ensure the development of offensive capabilities in cyberspace. In particular, the operational cooperation of law enforcement agencies, such as Interpol, Europol and Eurojust, in the fight against cybercrime is being stepped up. Anti-cybercrime activities are carried out not only by individual states, but also by their blocs, including NATO. In Ukraine, unlike the developed countries of the world, measures to combat cybercrime are less developed. Despite the existence of special laws and strategies, in particular the Cyber Security Strategy of Ukraine, the fight against cybercrime is not effective due to the declarative nature of most of the provisions of this strategy. It is concluded that one of the problematic aspects of the phenomenon of cybercrime is the low level of education in information technologies of the population of Ukraine.

Criminal Liability for Cryptocurrency Transactions: Global Experience

“…Due to the legal uncertainty of the status of cryptocurrencies at the legislative level in the world environment, the establishment of criminal liability for operations related to the circulation of cryptocurrencies, as well as effective counteraction to criminal offenses in this area remains an urgent issue. International cooperation in the fight against criminal offenses related to the circulation of cryptocurrencies should be carried out on the basis of participation of all states (Cherniavskyi, et al, 2021a). International cooperation should be carried out in various areas and include, first of all, the creation of regulations governing the circulation of cryptocurrency in the world, the development of general recommendations for regulating this issue at the national level, and the introduction of effective models of organizational cooperation between states to combat criminal offenses related to the circulation of cryptocurrencies.…”

Organizational and legal approaches in fighting organized crime

“…The basis of the fight against organized crime is the harmonization of national legislation with international strategies, laws and regulations, creation of special agencies for combating organized crime, conduct of special investigative activities through the use of the latest techniques and methods. Drug trafficking, arms trafficking, kidnapping and abduction activities, blackmailing offenses, human trafficking, cybercrimes (Cherniavskyi et al, 2021) and corruption are among the most complex forms of organized crime (Božić and Nikač, 2018).…”
